Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may require a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring.

In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will probably consist of repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an appealing feature of the house. In contemporary houses with carpet or real wood flooring, restoration is more likely to involve entirely replacing the current floors, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the process of restoration typically entails sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining.

For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will commonly require replacing the carpet.
